As much as I respect @nicolasturgeon.bsky.social she's got this WAY wrong
It's not Green to import a commodity we already have plenty of
Oil and Gas will be needed for some time yet

So Steve Reed MP has been "Potentially Misleading?"
Good response from our own Seamus Logan MP...
I repeat my invitation to "Sewage Steve" to come to Peterhead with some water from his constituency, I'll get some from my tap, and we'll do a "Pepsi Challenge"

Norway has a Sovereign Wealth Fund worth £254,226 per capita!

So, day2 of @snp.org Conference is upon us,
Thought from yesterday - when I resumed my seat the chap next to me said
"I disagree with what you said, but it was brave and you said it very well"
or something like that.
Here's to another day of civilised disagreement.

My Contribution from today's @snp.org
Conference Debate on Independence Strategy.
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute, obviously disappointed more didn't agree with me.
I truly hope I to be proved wrong.

As the @snp.org National Conference approaches I'm asking delegates to look beyond our elected members (fine people though they are), and to tap into the deep well of talent in our Ordinary Membership when casting votes in our internal elections.
See you in Aberdeen.

Recent changes have made it even less likely that ordinary members will be represented by fellow ordinary members on the NEC.
